Has one of these possible attacks ever occurred in reality?
In an ebook?
Anyway, not blaming anyone here. Just bitching about a change for the marginal benefit of automatic processing at the cost to human editors; a change that makes manual editing a bit harder and more prone to error. As more entities are numeric, it becomes a stew of digits and impossible to make sense of by eye.
